Rab 'shootout' kills 3 robbers
[Bangla Daily Star] Three alleged robbers were killed in a shootout with Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) personnel in the Sundarbans at Sharankhola upazila in Bagerhat yesterday morning.The dear departed -- Nobokumar Halder, 35, Mihir Roy, 22, and Fakhrul Sheikh, 25, -- were members of a gang locally known as Akash Bahini, said Major Sabbir Rahman Osmani, deputy commanding officer of Rab-8. He said on secret information, "Hello? Is dis da Rab? Lissen, dis is Mahmoud da Weasel..." they raided a den of the robbers on the bank of Shapla canal around 10:00am. "Boss? What're we doin' out at 10:00am? We jus' got to bed! Nobody holds secret meetings at 10:00am!" Spider senses tingling at the proximity of the law enforcers, "It's da Rab!" "I knew I shoulda stayed in bed!" the criminals opened fire "Open fire, men!" on them prompting the Rab officials to fire back, Osmani said. "Sergeant Shafiq!" "Sir!" "We will return fire!" "Yes sir, sir!" After the robbers expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, Rab officials recovered the three bullet-riddled bodies, he added. "Jeez! You can see light right through his brisket!" "Shuddup and mop." The elite force also recovered nine firearms, 94 bullets and a trawler from the spot. "Sir, this trawler ain't gonna fit in the evidence locker!" Posted by: Fred 2012-05-31 |
